Cusumano

A bright, brilliant wine with golden reflections. The aroma is characterized by floral notes, summer fruits and honey. Rich and fresh on the palate with a full round finish - enjoyable! SUPERIORE.DE

"Light white flowers, citrus and spices. Medium to full body, bright acidity and a fruity, crunchy finish." James Suckling

Deep, dense color, in the nose lots of fruit and a hint of slightly sweet liquorice. Very elegant with a fine, smoky plum bouquet and well integrated acidity in the persistent taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very attractive dark berries and crushed cloves on the nose. Full body, deep and rich with lots of fruit and an intense finish. Hints of walnuts. Fascinating." James Suckling

Smells seductively of spices and cherries. Soft, almost sensual, it glides over the tongue and bewitches the palate with soft, very delicate tannins and a long, juicy finish. An impeccable Sicilian! SUPERIORE.DE

Dark red with typical varietal bouquet, slightly peppery and grassy notes. A strong, fleshy red wine with a nice spiciness and balanced finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"There’s some lovely, citrusy freshness here to match the brambly, darker nuances of black pepper, dark cherries and licorice. Medium body, subtle and fine tannins and a tangy finish." James Suckling

Nero d'Avola, named after the Lago di Disueri, a lake in the province of Caltanissetta in the middle of Sicily. Deep dark red, intense scent of dark fruits with a hint of eucalyptus. Strong and round on the palate, smooth and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lovely density and firmness to this nero d’avola with firm tannins, fresh fruit and a lightly chewy finish." James Suckling

Bright straw yellow. This pure Grillo smells of citrus fruit, melon and fine herbs. On the palate a present, fresh fruit, very juicy and with mineral-salty vein in the aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow. In the nose lemon, meadow herbs and freshly cut grass. Juicy and slightly salty on the palate with a fruity middle part, spreads on a crisp acidity, slightly creamy, in the finish again salty." Falstaff

"A floral and delicious grillo, driven by its floral character of cherry blossom, daffodils and jasmine. Full-bodied and very generous, but with enough acidity to drive on the textured finish." James Suckling

Deep, dense colour, in the nose lots of fruit and a hint of slightly sweet liquorice. Very elegant with a fine, smoky plum bouquet and well integrated acidity in the persistent taste. SUPERIORE.DE

This Sicilian cuvée has a beautiful texture, harmonious and rich. In the fragrance seductive, slightly sweetish to honeydew melon, banana and herbs with a crisp freshness. A really remarkable white wine with balance between acidity and fruit and of lastingly persistence. Very good value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw-yellow. Lively, fresh minty pomaceous orchard fruit on the nose. Juicy and dense with simple flavors similar to the aromas, and with a bright, easygoing drinking quality. A lovely wine that closes long with a slightly bittersweet nuance." Vinous

"I love the ripeness on the nose here, which delivers fresh apricots, nectarines and spices. Full-bodied and very spicy on the palate. Acidity keeps this fresh and on point." James Suckling

Sparkling ruby red with an intense aroma of ripe wild berries, concentrated, full-bodied and yet elegant in taste, which ends in a fresh, smooth finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Flavors of crème de cassis, cured tobacco, spicebox and graphite are firmed by chewy tannins in this fresh, medium-bodied red, with a lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Benuara (closed with a glass cork) is made with fruit sourced from the estate's Presti and Pegni vineyards in Monreale, and these sites are identified on the front label. This is a mid-weight blend of 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Syrah that offers an accessible and forthcoming drinking style. There is a subtle note of sunny ripeness on the bouquet, with a point of cherry marmalade, but the wine ultimately delivers a tight and focused mouthfeel. Most of the wine (80%) is aged in steel, and the remaining percentage goes into large oak casks." Robert Parker

"There is not a touch of overripeness to this nevertheless explosive nose of blackcurrants, mulberries, bark, herbs, even beet, slate, iodine and spices. Medium-bodied with driven acidity, fine tannins and tons of fruit on the finish. So delicious." James Suckling

From the still young Etna branch of the Cusumano family: bright ruby red, very clear bouquet with pronounced fresh fruit notes of berries, elegant on the palate with medium strength, soft tannin; juicy, persistent and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, brightening garnet. Attractive nose with lots of sweet raspberry, strawberry and rhubarb. Round and supple on the palate, unfolds with fine tannin, round and pleasing." Falstaff

"Strawberry, wild rose, citrus and Mediterranean herb aromas take center stage on this fragrant red. Reflecting the nose, the focused, vibrant palate offers pomegranate, blood orange, star anise and hint of espresso alongside firm acidity and fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"An elegant, light- to medium-bodied red, this shows fine balance, integrating light, taut tannins with a subtle mesh of ripe raspberry, cranberry and citrus notes, accented by dried thyme and tar-tinged smoke." Wine Spectator

"The Cusumano brothers have a well-respected, internationally distributed brand of Sicilian wines, and in 2013 began this venture on Etna, buying well-known single vineyards and constructing a modern gravity-fed winery. This bottling shows muted raspberry aromas – it’s medium-bodied and silky, but spicy and vigorous, and doesn’t lack concentration or flesh. Fine acidity and length too." Decanter

"This was a challenging vintage on Etna that showed uneven results across different areas of the volcano. The 2016 Etna Rosso defies those difficulties to show steady aromas of wild berry, rose and blue flower. The wine is dry and almost dusty on the finish with generous flinty mineral tones." Robert Parker

"Bright red. Subdued nose hints at red flowers, bright red berries and powdered rocks. Clean, fresh and mineral in the mouth, but with a greater herbal presence than on the nose, finishing long, vibrant and juicy." Vinous

"From the moment you hang your nose in the glass, it’s clear that there are plenty of ripe plums, but not the slightest hint of prune character. However, there is a ton of subtle, herbal nuances in here, too. Powerful and concentrated with plenty of healthy tannins that carry the long, dry finish." James Suckling

Fresh, dynamic wine from Etna with a multifaceted aroma of yeast and smoke. Cool grapefruit and impressive mineral notes in the dry finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Etna Bianco is the base white wine from this Etna estate, but this pure expression of Carricante absolutely delivers the goods. It shows super crisp and sharp lines, with citrus, white peach and crushed stone. This vintage offers a balanced burst of crisp acidity that would taste beautifully next to a summer salad with tuna, cherry tomatoes, capers and olive oil." Robert Parker

The multi-layered, typically Mediterranean bouquet of this pure Inzolia is impeccable. Fine aromas interweave the dense but fresh taste with the persistent finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A waxy and flavorful white with sliced cooked apple and pear character. Full body, layered and delicious. Generous and enticing. Made from insolia grapes." James Suckling
